HELPFUL TIPS
• Add more liquid to Blending Chamber if vacuum occurs around Cylinder during use.
• Blending Chamber must be firmly attached to Base or unit will not turn on.
• A towel placed under your RETRO SERIES™ SLUSH & SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM
MAKER, will help with clean-up. You should expect some dripping.
• DO NOT store slush drinks in freezer or fridge. They should be consumed immediately.
• REMINDER: 32 ounces of liquid does not produce 32 ounces of slush. You are creating
slush and the liquid has solidified into ice. Likewise, creating soft serve ice cream
incorporates air into the mixture, causing it to expand. If ice cream mixture runs
over into canister, dispense some of the mixture to lower the level in the unit.
• If making another batch, remove Aluminum Cylinder and refill with ice and salt layers.
Liquids
• Drinks with a high sugar or corn syrup base will crystallize faster and
produce a thicker slush than those with milk or lower sugar content.
Carbonated drinks will set up slower and will not be as thick.
• We recommend adding pre-chilled liquid to your RETRO SERIES™ SLUSH & SOFT
SERVE ICE CREAM MAKER. This will quicken the slush making process.
• Carbonated diet drinks and alcoholic beverages will not slush.
DO NOT add alcohol until the slush is poured into glasses.
• DO NOT use stiff mixtures such as whipped or whipping cream or
frozen liquids; this will cause stress on the unit's motor.
• NOTE: If mixture gets too thick, or does not dispense well,
add more liquid to the mixing chamber opening.
Mixture is Not Freezing
• Possible reasons for mixture not chilling or freezing:
1. The Aluminum Cylinder was not cold enough. Try adding more ice
and salt. Salt is a critical part of the freezing process and you will need
plenty of salt added to the ice for the slush to freeze properly.
2. The mixture was too warm.
3. Alcohol was added to the mixture. DO NOT add alcohol
until the slush is poured into glasses.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. After using your RETRO SERIES™ SLUSH & SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM MAKER ,
disconnect from electrical outlet. Remove plug by gripping the plug body and
pulling out of the outlet. Never yank or twist cord to unplug the unit.
2. Thoroughly wash the Blending Chamber, Aluminum Cylinder, Cylinder
Cage, Mixing Mechanism, Lid and Drip Tray in warm, sudsy water and
thoroughly dry. DO NOT put the Base in water. When needed, use a damp,
non-abrasive cloth to wipe exterior and then dry thoroughly.
3. NEVER immerse Base in water or put any parts in the dishwasher.
